http://goingundergroundblog.org/index.php/entry/renewed-push-for-ccs-in-the-ukNikki Brain, Policy Manager at the CCSA, reflects on the outlook for CCS in the UK over the coming year:

As we are now one month into 2018, let’s take stock of where we are with CCS in the UK.

Back in October last year, the Government released its much awaited Clean Growth Strategy (CGS), which contained a set of new commitments to move forward with CCS in the UK. For those with an interest in UK climate policy this is a welcome development, given that CCS remains critical to meeting our carbon targets at least cost, and the only option for deep decarbonisation for some industries.

The new approach set out in the CGS emphasises collaboration between Government and the private sector; recognises the role CCUS can play in decarbonising multiple sectors including industry, power, heat and transport; and highlights the economic potential CCUS represents to the UK.
